Fall flounder gigging drives Gulf-bound big catches
Capt Mark Talasek promotes fall flounder fishing using gigging at night near the Gulf. Texas Parks and Wildlife biologist Mark Fisher notes shrimp-boat bycatch limits, with stock gains attributed to shrimping declines. Flounder grow from 1- to 3-pounds, juveniles move to bays, and fall runs yield the year's best fish. Contact Talasek for guidance.
